Jaissle states Newcastle ambition but urges patience

Newcastle appointed Matthias Jaissle as their new head coach following Eddie Howe's departure after nearly five years at St James Park. The Saudi-backed club has signed young players such as Bazoumana Toure, Sean Steur, and Aladji Bamba, but the squad now lacks experienced players. Jaissle emphasized the club's ambition, stating, "We are ambitious.

That's the most important thing - also why I decided to come here." He also emphasized that success won't come overnight, noting the challenges of transitioning after significant departures. Jaissle, who led RB Salzburg to two consecutive league titles and Al-Ahli to two Asian Champions League victories, said Newcastle has options in the transfer window to adjust the squad or have other players step up.

He expressed optimism about the situation, but cautioned against setting firm targets for the future. Jaissle avoided promising specific results, stating, "I'm long enough now in the industry that you cannot promise anything." Newcastle finished 12th in the Premier League last season.
